Daniil Medvedev made a big coaching move recently in a bid to turn his ATP Tour fortunes around.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After almost a decade together, Medvedev split with Gilles Cervara<\/a> after the US Open.<\/p>\n

Replacing him, Medvedev hired Thomas Johansson on a trial basis<\/a>, bringing in the 2002 Australian Open champion to his team.<\/p>\n

The pair will begin their coaching relationship at the Hangzhou Open, with Medvedev<\/a> set to play Nishesh Basavareddy in round one.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the tournament, the former ATP<\/a> world number one has shared how long his \u2018trial\u2019 with Johansson is set to last.<\/p>\n

Thomas Johansson will coach Daniil Medvedev until at least the end of 2025<\/p>\n

During a pre-tournament press conference, Medvedev shared the details of his coaching relationship with the 50-year-old Swede.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time in my career, I was without a coach. I talked to a lot of people, asked how they saw my tennis, how I could improve,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the experts I called were not available, and some did not have a vision that I liked. Thomas [Johansson] and Rohan [Goetzke] presented their vision of the situation, and I liked it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to work with them. We trained for a week and a half in Monte Carlo, and it was great. So far, everything is going well. I hope it will show in the tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have agreed to a trial run until the end of the year, and then we will see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medvedev is set to play several tournaments in Asia before heading off to Europe for the final few weeks of the year.<\/p>\n\nDate beginning<\/strong><\/td>\nTournament<\/strong><\/td>\nTier<\/strong><\/td>\nSurface<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSeptember 17<\/td>\nHangzhou Open<\/td>\nATP 250<\/td>\nHard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSeptember 25<\/td>\nChina Open<\/td>\nATP 500<\/td>\nHard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nOctober 1<\/td>\nShanghai Masters<\/td>\nMasters 1000<\/td>\nHard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nOctober 11<\/td>\nAlmaty Open<\/td>\nATP 250<\/td>\nHard (indoor)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nOctober 18<\/td>\nVienna Open<\/td>\nATP 500<\/td>\nHard (indoor)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nOctober 25<\/td>\nParis Masters<\/td>\nMasters 1000<\/td>\nHard (indoor)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Daniil Medvedev\u2019s 2025 schedule<\/p>\n

The 2020 champion is unlikely to qualify for the ATP Finals<\/a> in Turin, an event he hasn\u2019t missed since 2018.<\/p>\n

Medvedev currently sits 22nd in the race, trailing eighth-placed Lorenzo Musetti<\/a> by 1,300 points.<\/p>\n

Any realistic hopes of qualifying for the event were dashed at the US Open, when Medvedev\u2019s disastrous Grand Slam campaign drew to a close.<\/p>\n

After winning 18 Grand Slam matches in 2024, he won just one in 2025 and has now lost in the first round of three consecutive major tournaments.<\/p>\n
